Chapter 8

Destiny

Hey guys! I'm so sorry for not updating immediately when I came back. I got lazy >.< and then writers block! DX but here is the long awaited update! 

-------------------------------------------------------------

Kana POV

I got to my dance class at exactly 9:30 and half-celebrated that I was the first person there. I changed into my dance clothes and started stretching. I admired the room which was long and rectangular with mirrors on each of the long sides of the room. While I was doing the splits, people started walking in. I received a couple of strange stares, but continued my stretches, not caring for everyone else.

I was pretty zoned out but snapped out of it when I heard a loud laugh enter the room. I looked up to see Dongwoo laughing with some girls surrounding him. I rolled my eyes at the sight and went towards the corner of the room to continue my stretching. Just then, the teacher walked in and told us to gather in the middle of the room. I sat as far away as I could from everyone else without looking too weird. 

The teacher walked in front of us and I couldn't help but notice that she was extremely pretty and young. I couldn't help but think about how all the guys must be crushing on her. It must be nice...I shook my head from those thoughts and listened to what we were supposed to be doing. 

"Annyeonghaseyo. My name is Ms. Park. My favorite style of dance to dance is ballet and my favorite style of dance to watch is ballroom. Pleased to meet all of you. Now, for roll call I am going to call your name and you will come up here and do an introduction just like I did." Some people in the crowd groaned. The teacher kind of glared but started the roll call without a care. After about five people, I went up.

"Annyeonghaseyo. My name is Choi Kana. My favorite style of dance to dance is hip-hop and my favorite style of dance to watch is ballet. Pleased to meet you." I bowed, did a quick skim of the many faces in my class, and went to go sit back down. There were murmurs about me that I could only slightly hear but ignored them.

After a while, Dongwoo went up and introduced hisself. All I heard was "Oh he's sooo handsome!" "I'm so glad I got into this class!" "I can't wait to dance with him!" I wanted to slap each one of those girls for being so annoyingly stupid. They only took this class because of him? That's so stupid. Just for a guy who isn't even going to actually go out with you but probably just make small talk every now and then? Yeah, okay. I rolled my eyes and ignored them for the rest of the introductions.

"Alright now, class. I'm going to put you into groups of five according to what you all chose as your favorite styles of dance to dance to. There are going to be two groups for hip-hop, one group for ballet, three groups for contemporary, one group for interpretive and one group of two for ballroom, okay?" She started getting us in our groups and I dreaded this assignment already. Why group work?! However, I pushed my negative thoughts away to just work and not complain. A good dancer knows how to adjust and improvise whenever needed. I walked over to my group only to discover it was made of entirely guys and Dongwoo was in it as well. Seriously?!

 

Dongwoo POV

The girl Hoya has been going crazy about since yesterday went up and did her introduction. Wow, she is really pretty. I heard the other people talking about her, how pretty she looked, how she must've been a queenka in high school, how pretty her voice sounds, etc. I chuckled silently to myself at Hoya's taste.

I went up and introduced myself and heard the usual girl-talk about me. I looked over at Kana to see she wasn't of those girls. I was slightly stunned. Then I noticed how far away she was sitting from everyone and was even more surprised. She looked bored out of her mind and kept rolling her eyes. Huh, I thought to myself, well isn't that interesting. Hoya got himself an ice princess. That's new. 

I sat back down and got excited for the assignment from the teacher. Group work wasn't necessarily my favorite, but I just couldn't wait to start dancing. We got situated in our groups and I was interested to see Kana in my group. She looks so delicate and pretty I would've thought she would be in the ballet group. Who would've thought this girl likes hip-hop? (For the record, I really wasn't paying attention to what she was saying. I was analyzing instead...) 

She looked slightly aggravated, but I wasn't sure if it was maybe just her normal face. When our group got assembled, I suggested we all sit down until further instructions from the teacher. As we were sitting down, I noticed Kana kind of sitting a far distance away from us. I frowned but instead of letting her be, I said, "Kana-sshi, why don't you come sit over here near the group?" She just looked at me  and sat where she was originally planning on sitting. I frowned even more. How could Hoya like such a girl who acts so rude? Soon the teacher started announcing what were going to be doing in the groups. 

"Okay, to decide who will be team captains of your groups, you will be having a dance-off." We all cheered. What's more fun than a dance-off? And for a good prize too plus bragging rights. "Okay, so you all must decide who guys first and such-and-such by age. Oldest goes first, okay? Go ahead." 

By this time, Kana had situated herself close enough to the group to talk but not close enough to be "in" the group. So each person went and spoke their ages. "24" "23" "22" "22" "21." The two people who were 22 had to see who was older so that we could settle things and get started. I was getting really excited.

The guy who was 24 started and he was good. But he messed up and it was really obvious. Poor guy. I cheered him up and he felt a little better. Knowing that, I went up and did my best. I thought I did well and seeing by the feedback I got, so did they. The two guys after me were pretty good as well but I think I got this in the bag, if I do say so myself.

Then, Kana went up. Oh...my gosh. She, she...wow. Now I see why Hoya likes her. I was practically fangirling over this one move she did where she tumbled and then it looked like she fell but then she did these turns on the floor and...wow. I never knew a girl like her could move like that. Never judge a book by it's cover, haha. I looked at the rest of our group and saw they had practically the same exact expression as I did. Well, we know who our team captain is. 

 

Kana POV

To be completely honest, I wasn't even watching the others dance. I was gone into my world by the time the teacher said go. I only got out of my world so I could start dancing for them. I thought up the same routine as I did yesterday but amplified it to be a little bit more impressive. When I finished, I left my little world and saw the teacher right in front of me. All I heard was, "Wow! Team captain. Good job!" She then handed me some papers and I just filled out what needed to be filled out.

I handed the paper to the rest of my group but when I did, they were staring at me weird. Oh great, it's just everyone stare at Kana weird week or something! Sheesh...they finished filling out the paper and I handed it back to the teacher. I went back to my group and made it my priority to take care of these guys, whether I'm the youngest or not. I decided, it's time to use the fact that I'm a girl in front of them. 

"Um, annyeonghaseyo. I'm Choi Kana and I'm your new team captain...please take care of me as I will for you," I said to them. All I got were creepy stares. I frowned and sat down. "Um, so please re-introduce yourselves so we can...get to know each other better." Once again, stares. Now I was irritated. "YAH. CAN YOU ALL HEAR ME?!" This time, they all kinda shook their heads as if they we in a trance and looked at me sort of scared. Good. I glared at them and repeated my orders which they soon followed. 

"Jang Dongwoo" "Lay" "Jang Hyunseong" "Park Sanghyun" Okay, I thought to myself, this won't be too hard. Just be...not as mean or scary to them as you usually would be. Yea...okay...no. So now that I am the team captain, I can make them do what I please and punish them how I feel fit...I smirked to myself. This will be kinda fun actually. So our assignment in these groups was to research the history of our style of dance. The rules were a little bit different for the multiple-style dance groups. However, I knew that this meant spending time with these guys...greeeat. Just what I wanted...not.

I let my mind wander off as we were dismissed for the day. I checked my phone for the time, 12:30. I headed toward the cafeteria and hoped not to encounter any more Infinite nuisances for the rest of the day. However, I had a feeling that my luck was not going to work. And as if right on cue,"Hey! Um, you!" I turned to see Hoya running up to me holding my water bottle. Wait, I thought I had it--"Your water bottle dropped out of your bag when you left the coffee shop. I picked it up thinking you might want it..."

Once again, I was shocked by Hoya. He's been so kind and I've been anything but. I looked down slightly ashamed with myself, but I can't change it now. Once you build a bridge, all you can do is walk over it. I grabbed my water bottle--slightly brushing his hand--but kept my head down. "Thank you, again Hoya-sshi." I looked up this time to see his cheeks a slight shade of pink and him rubbing the back of neck sheepishly. "It's no problem, really." We stood there awkwardly for a good minute before I decided to start leaving. However, "Um!" I stopped and looked at him.

"I-I keep running into you, but I don't even know your name...it's not quite fair that only you know my name...and I think we'd both appreciate me not having to call you 'you' all the time?" I chuckled silently to myself. "Choi Kana," I replied. "Choi Kana...that's a really pretty name," he said. I nodded in thanks and before I was about to bid him goodbye, he quickly said, "I know you rejected my offer yesterday, but if you're willing, would you still like to eat lunch with me? I would really like to get to know you because I really like your dancing and you're really pretty and I sound like a dork right now but I'll only stop if you say yes."

I couldn't think. Here he is again asking me the same question that I already said no to. Why on earth would I say yes?! He wants to get to know me, but that's only a one way thing there. I mean, he's been a nice guy and all, but I don't want any special connections here at this school. I just want to learn and get on with my life. I don't want to get hurt again...I'm afraid.

I looked down at my water bottle and it was giving me a silent reminder of all the things he's done for me today. It was like it was saying,"Come on, Kana! Do this as a return for the favors he's done for you! It's only lunch!" I sighed to myself and looked back up to him. I probably won't like this, but it's only as a return for his kindness. I looked him in the eyes and said,"Okay."

Chapter 18: Please update soon .. :-) :-) :-) I was just confused with the chapters where she had lost her memory, so I hope author-nim you'll update soon to make the story clear....Ughh my head went upside down because of confusion (pls explain or give clearer explanations in the events of the story...For example, when Hoya asked Sunggyu why the girl was there at the hospital, it will be clearer to me if I'll see Sunggyu's explanation..haha :-) :-) And I noticed that she out for 2 or three times if I'm not mistaken then she woke up finding herself in another scenario...something bla blah like that...With Sunggyu oppa in his drunken state & kissed her... Awww it really confused me...>.<) hahaha.. Nevertheless, the story is nice, so I'm looking forward to the next chapters....(btw, I like Sunggyu's character, but I think I'm kinda liking Hoya's character more..) Didn't Hoya feel angry or pissed that the girl believed Sunggyu as her boyfriend? Well, actually, he obviously lied, so did Hoya just shrugged it off like nothing? I mean Sunggyu lied that he was his boyfriend, and to think that Hoya likes her, didn't he seriously felt bad about it? >.< >.<Omoo... but when Hoya-oppa kissed her, oh gosh it was like asdfghjk haha lol... Kamsahamnida! :-)
